IBM Cognos Event Studio

Use IBM® Cognos® Event Studio to notify decision-makers in your organization of events as they happen, so that they can make timely and effective decisions.

You create agents that monitor your organization's data to detect occurrences of business events. An event is a situation that can affect the success of your business. An event is identified when specific items in your data achieve significant values. Specify the event condition, or a change in data, that is important to you. When an agent detects an event, it can perform tasks, such as sending an e-mail, adding information to the portal, and running reports.

For information about how to use Cognos Event Studio, see Creating an Agent.

Note: Some of the features available in Cognos Event Studio are not compatible with Firefox. For this reason, you are recommended to use Microsoft Internet Explorer web browser.

You can follow a tutorial that shows you how to create and run an agent in response to a business scenario. For more information, see Tutorial.
